Ed Rosenthal Found Alive! Plus Update!

(Updating the below story, the LA TImes reports that Ed was conscious and talking with the rescue team when he was found this morning.)

It's a miracle.  After a week alone in the dessert Ed Rosenthal was just found alive and airlifted to a hospital.
Here is the opening of the story at blogdowntown and the rest of the story is at the above link:

Downtown's Poet-Broker has been found alive nearly a week after he failed to return from a day-hike in Joshua Tree National Park.

Ed Rosenthal was airlifted to a local hospital and is reported to be in critical condition.

Friend Jack Skelley posted the news on Rosenthal's Facebook page late this morning.

Ed has been found! He is alive! In critical condition. We just heard from his wife Nicole. They are taking him to hospital. Please keep praying....more info later...

The Desert Sun is also reporting Rosenthal's rescue, saying that he was located in the East Wide Canyon area. The paper quotes a park spokesman as saying that Rosenthal was conscious and talking with rescuers, but has "some injuries and some exposure issues."

Still No Word On Search For Ed Rosenthal

There is a full search for missing Downtown real estate agent, community builder and poet Ed Rosenthal l going on today in Johusa Tree National Park and while many articles have been written about all his has down for Downtown. no one has yet mentioned - much less printed - the poem he wrote to help Tom Gilmore get an extension on his purchase of  the bulk of the Old Bank District which started the Downtown revival.  I can't find my copy of the whole poem, but I did find this excerpt:

I'm sorry to say/That Gilmore can't pay/For the extension requested today/
But if you take my advice/You'll stay by his side/As he shifts to Downtown overdrive

And here is the first part of the Downtown News story linked to above and the rest of the story is at the Downtown News website:

Ed Rosenthal Missing in Joshua Tree Since Friday

by, Katie Schaufelberger

Published: Tuesday, September 28, 2010 12:22 PM PDT

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - Park rangers and rescue teams today vastly increased their search in Joshua Tree National Park for veteran Downtown real estate agent Ed Rosenthal. The 64-year-old known to many as the “poet-broker” has been missing since Friday, when he went hiking near Black Rock Campground.

Rosenthal told other campers he planned to go out for a day hike on his own. When he didn’t return, they reported him missing. Park staff were informed on Sunday and launched a search that day.

Joe Zarki, a spokesman for the park, said the search effort tripled in size today, with 55 people, most from the San Bernardino County Search and Rescue team, now combing the wilderness south of the campground. A helicopter is also canvassing the park.

Downtown Poet-Broker Ed Rosenthal Reported Missing

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — Poet-broker Ed Rosenthal, a figure in the Downtown arts and real estate communities, is missing after failing to return from a weekend hike in Joshua Tree National Park.

According to a report that first appeared in the Los Angeles Business Journal, Rosenthal was reported missing Sunday evening after his car was found at the park's Black Rock campground. The L.A. Times reports that Rosenthal was last seen Friday. Rosenthal has brokered a number of large deals Downtown, but is best known for his poetry about the neighborhood.

If it wasn't for Ed Rosentahl and his poetry, Tom Gilmore wouldn't have gotten an extension to close the first properties in the Old Bank District and Downtown would be a very different place today. Much of what Downtown has become is a result of Ed's hard work and we all owe him a deep debt of gratitude.  My prayers and thoughts are with him, his family and his many friends.
